B1-2 Superlatives

In Spanish, there are two types of superlatives: the relative superlative and the absolute superlative.

-The relative superlative is used to empathize a thing or a person in a group.
El/La/Los/Las + noun + to be + más/menos + adjective
ex. Barcelona es la ciudad más bonita que he visitado. (Barcelona is the most beautiful city I’ve visited).

El/La/Los/Las + noun + to be + más/menos + adjective + de + substantive
ex. Ana es la niña más inteligente de la clase. (Ana is the smartest girl in the class).

When adjectives and adverbs end in -ble you add an ‘i’ between the ‘b’ and the ‘l’ and -ísimo, -ísima, -ísimos, -ísimas at the end.
Amable -> amabilísimo /amabilísima
Sensible -> sensibilísimo
Agradable -> agradabilísimo
